Used it for another purpose
Yes, this is the correct photo. As you can see in the photo I have two of the DeWalt DXST4500 shelf units. I wanted to add another shelf to one of them. Because of the 18" x 50" there is nothing available to do that, per se. I arrived at this expensive solution. I purchased this same sized DXSTFB048 bench and used the uprights and the shelf parts to add onto my existing shelf unit. I already had the stacking brackets that came with the shelf units so I was good-to-go there. Here is the result.

    Solid and sturdy. Not as much space in shelf as you might think. Readjusting shelf can be a chore so get in right first time.

    Amazing
    Put this bench together with the storage shelf in my son's bedroom. It is absolutely perfect. Matches the color scheme, durable( for a boy room), practical. We love it. FYI: I put it together myself and I am a women.

      Very nice addition to any dewalt fan. The only complaint I have would be that the top material is like a pleather that I’m afraid to puncture if I sit on it with any sharp object. Other than that it’s great to finally sit and think of my projects I’m working on in my garage.

      A great new offering from DeWalt! Heavy and heavy duty. Weighs in at 48 lbs and reportedly has a 1000 lb seat capacity and 1500 lb shelf capacity (evenly distributed). This is typical DeWalt pro-quality and the design includes smart details like anti-slide/anti-scratch feet, and clips to keep the wire rack from vibrating. Great fit and finish! The bench arrived in a flat 53 x 21 x 7-in box. The first bonus was the very detailed, well written instruction manual (separate booklets for English, French, and Spanish). The assembly process is well-planned. There’s not only an included hex-key hand-tool for assembly, but also a proper hex bit for power tool quick-assembly. There were ZERO spare parts, so be careful to corral those assembly bits. A rubber mallet, not included, is helpful in fitting most of the parts together (but a hard soled shoe or boot works as well…just saying). Looks great and, after assembly, I laid on the bench for a good back stretch and brief rest. Definitely a bonus to have a comfortable bench in the garage!

      **Bottom Line. This is a very sturdy and well made bench that would be a great addition to any garage.** I had been wanting some new seating for my garage for a while now. Having just a wooden stool to sit on can be pretty inconvenient and uncomfortable at times. Never having a garage bench before I wasn't really sure how well it would work out but after using this bench for a few weeks now I am glad I decided to try it. Assembly was a fairly simple task. The included manual was clear and concise and I had no issues putting this all together. Make sure you have a rubber hammer handy, it will help with assembly and when you go to adjust the height of the bottom shelf. The are only 4 screws used in getting this together and I would recommend you do not over tighten them. There is no need and they can easily strip. Build quality of this bench is excellent. None of the parts feel cheap and everything has a nice coat of paint. There is plenty of support where it needs to be and the stated 1k pounds for seating and 1.5k for the shelf is no joke. At 50 in. long and with those weight restrictions you could easily fit 4 big guys on this bench if you had to. The seat cushion is covered with some fairly heavy duty vinyl that would take some effort to tear. I’ve found this bench to be very comfortable. It feels great to sit on and more and more as I have this thing in my shop I end up sitting here and enjoying the breaks I take much more than when I only had a stool laying around. The bottom shelf has been great too. I do a lot of woodworking and have gotten into the habit up putting a lot of the tools I’ll need for the project as well as whatever wood I can fit on the shelf so that I have everything I need handy and easy to grab. I like that you can adjust the height although I honestly just leave it at the maximum depth. I would definitely recommend this product if you are in need of some extra seating/storage for your garage. DeWalt always seems to be coming out with innovative products both big and small that the other big tool companies usually don’t offer. You might even find that you like this bench so much that you’ll want to get the matching stool, and the garage racks. Until one day you find that your whole garage is yellow and the wife wants to have a word with you.

      I would recommend DeWalt Garage Bench. I am so impressed with this bench, of course it is quality built by DeWalt and they make some impressive products. I would like to get a couple more of these benches to use inside my house. This one I placed in the garage, so that we can sit on the comfortable bench and take our shoes off and place them on the handy drying wire rack below the seat. This bench was easy for me to put together, it really took less then 30 minutes. All the tools needed are supplied in the box. Easy to follow instructions. The bench will hold up to 1,000 pounds of weight. The frame feels really solid and the bench also looks great and will work inside or outside of your home or shop.

      Solid garage or shop bench! This DeWalt bench is really made to last, with heavy duty angle iron (see picture) and hex head hardware (see picture) for assembly so you will have years of use! They also did a great job making sure all parts were well-painted. It looks great (see pictures). However, there was some paint in some of the threads of the holes of the safety straps with weld nuts (see picture), so I would recommend trying out all the hex bolts in the crossbeams before the actual assembly to save any trouble. The assembly instructions were very good, with a very detailed break-out of both the parts and the assembly process with pictorials. DeWalt also supplied the hex wrench and a hex bit that you can use for assembly. You will only need a rubber mallet to make sure the crossbeams are seated fully and a flat edge screwdriver for the retainer clips on the wire mesh shelf. I really liked the wire mesh shelf under the bench (see picture)! The shelf is about 15” by 49” so you can store a lot of tools there while still having great visibility of the items. The heavy duty wire mesh on the shelf will hold just about anything. The padding of the bench seat is very good, so visitors to your shop or garage will be very comfortable (easily seats two adults). DeWalt really designed a great bench! I highly recommend it!

        Overpriced
        Nice bench, but not worth the current price. Was listed for $298 and price has been raised to $398 in Jan 2023 … No thank you.

          This bench is incredibly sturdy. I set it up in a mudroom area. I stow shoes and boots beneath it. I am very happy with this purchase.

          It was very hard to put together, because holes didn’t line up, etc. I thought it would be a bit higher; I wanted to use it as a dressing bench. It’s not really suited well for me.
